Notre Dame Paris
Sand Cast Lead Conservation Ltd was founded in 2018 by Bradley Smith. Bradley started in the
industry working as an apprentice lead worker after leaving school at the age of 16. Then working
within the lead manufacturing industry until present day leading and building his own company with
the vision of manufacturing and installation being all done within one company.
In addition to manufacturing, Sand cast Lead
Conservation prides itself on the great team working on
installations across the country. These projects allow us
to recycle by the process of recasting the old lead and
installing as new sheets all within house. Preservation,
restoration, and conservation are all elements the business
is built upon, and we try to maintain the heritage and
history wherever possible.
Our project and partnership with the contractors at Notre
Dame Paris is going from strength to strength as we
continue to produce the large amount of sand cast lead
sheets required to complete this prestigious and exciting
restoration.
This has involved many hurdles, meetings, site visits both
to site in France and visits from the contractors to our
manufacturing site to ensure we meet all of our client’s
needs, one of which is all lead sheets produced must be
manufactured from 99.9% pure lead.
To comply with this we have had advice and help from
third parties and are grateful for the assistance provided
by Ecobat.
